October, the sixth year of Yuanchu.

Chang'an City, Weiyang Palace.

Emperor Feng was wearing a lamb fur coat and coughing softly.

Manager Hu stood nearby, holding a bowl of medicine.

His face was full of anxiety, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Your Majesty, this medicine is almost cold."

"The dragon's body is the most important!"

"Um."

Only then did Emperor Feng put down his imperial pen.

He picked up the jade bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

Because the medicine smells pungent, I can't help coughing.

"This medicine is far different from what Xiao Ning prescribed."

"That can't be helped..." Steward Hu said with an embarrassed look on his face. "Prince Ning is exceptionally gifted, well-versed in all six arts. When the Empress Dowager was gravely ill, it was Prince Ning who saved the day. If not for that, no one would have known he was also skilled in medicine."

"How is he now?"

"According to the time, they should have already set out."

Emperor Feng looked outside the door.

I was also a little nervous.

The main reason is that this time it is too dangerous.

Although both sides have not revealed their cards yet, they are both aware of it.

This time it was actually an open conspiracy.

They are both well aware of each other's strategic goals.

And be sure you can win.

So we keep adding more money to it.

Tian Zhongxun knew that he was in a dead end.

If you want to survive, you can only rebel!

"How are the King of Chu and the King of Jin doing?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Heavy troops have been dispatched to both places."

"The envoys will soon arrive at the two royal cities."

"If they dare to rebel, they will die!"

"Um."

Emperor Feng nodded thoughtfully.

The King of Jin is actually okay.

The force is not that scary.

The most difficult person to deal with is actually the King of Chu!

If we really talk about strength, he even surpasses the King of Qi.

They were quite close to the Kingdom of Nanyue.

There are 300,000 armored soldiers!

The territory of Chu State was two thousand miles from east to west.

It can be called the overlord of the South.

The key point is that this old dog, the King of Chu, is also quite patient.

This guy is even more difficult to deal with than Tian Zhongxun.

Since Emperor Feng ascended the throne, he has always been very dutiful.

The annual tribute will not be reduced in the slightest.

Ning Que had initially hoped to use the Black Tiger Sect to force the King of Chu to reveal his true colors. Unexpectedly, they refused to respond and even praised Ning Que's efforts. Since the Black Tiger Sect was committing such heinous crimes, they should be punished according to Dafeng's laws, even if that meant executing their entire clan.

Although the King of Chu made excuses for not coming to Chang'an in person for Ning Que's wedding, he still sent many gifts. In these aspects, the King of Chu was indeed impeccable, and even Emperor Feng was helpless against him.

"Emperor, haven't you rested yet?"

The Queen Mother walked out supported by Nanny Yang.

Emperor Feng coughed lightly.

He raised his hand to signal the others to leave.

"You..." The Queen Mother sighed helplessly, "You have such a severe cough, yet you are still so stubborn."

"Because I am the Emperor."

Emperor Feng didn't say much.

His every word and action will be magnified infinitely.

There is nothing trivial about him.

Without offspring, it would be a threat to the country.

If you are sick, it will also cause discussion.

"What's the news about Xiao Ningke?"

"Not yet." Emperor Feng put the document away and whispered, "Just judging by the time, they should have already set out."

"You...you...why are you so cruel?"

"Qinghe is still pregnant, so Xiaoning must go to the battle."

"If something goes wrong, how will you let me go to see Uncle Ning?"

"Mother, it's not that I'm cruel." Emperor Feng shook his head seriously. "If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to send Xiao Ning out to fight at this time. But for Dafeng, he's the only one responsible for this world. This is our fate. Born into the royal family, there are many things that are beyond one's control. Even I am sometimes pushed forward by this invisible force."

"His Majesty--"

"An urgent military letter from Linzi, eight hundred miles away!"

Manager Hu rushed in holding documents.

Emperor Feng quickly stood up.

After knocking off the seal, he couldn't wait to take it.

After reading it, he started laughing.

“Hahaha, okay!”

"here you go!"

"What's wrong?" The Queen Mother was also anxious and asked quickly, "What happened?"

"Xiao Ning sailed out five days ago. Before leaving, he secretly replaced some of his personal guards with county soldiers and remained in Linzi City. He also invited Yue Zhongmu, the former Lord of Wu'an of the Shang Dynasty, to stay in Linzi City and oversee the overall situation. However, this matter should not be made public, so the order will be issued in Qinghe's name."

"In this case, isn't he more dangerous?"

"No." Emperor Feng smiled and said firmly, "I believe he will definitely return victorious. Since he made this decision, he must have weighed the pros and cons carefully."

"in addition……"

Manager Hu glanced at the Queen Mother.

"explain."

"The Ghost Guards have also sent a secret report." General Hu handed it over and whispered, "According to their information, the King of Qi has issued a royal decree. All those aged 14 to 65 in Langya and Jiaodong counties are to be sent as soldiers. Qi has begun actively mobilizing troops. Judging by the timing, they should have already started a rebellion!"

"good!"

Emperor Feng stood up suddenly.

His eyes were red and bloodshot.

At this moment, it is like a real dragon swallowing the heaven and earth.

"I have been waiting for this day for years."

"When the old Ning Wang died in battle, Tian Zhongxun led his troops into the capital and forced me to hand over the Jingyang fiefdom to him. If he disobeys the imperial edict, even I will have to give in. The old Ning Wang's death was likely related to him. He even proclaimed himself the Eastern Emperor in Qi and didn't take me seriously at all."

"Now, he has finally rebelled!"

The Queen Mother frowned upon hearing this.
